Hi, if you open the Downloads list (Ctrl+J) and look at the history there, can you find those downloads?

If the small print mentions "moz-safe-about", that would be similar to this thread:

Hmm, I have not heard of that one before. Perhaps you can edit the file extension to .txt and view the contents in a text editor to see whether it contains HTML code, plain text, or something else.
